    JM Uptown Cover

    Janelle Monae graces the cover of the October/November 2013 issue of Uptown Magazine.

    Janelle Monae and DIddy 1In the issue, which hits stands next week, Monae speaks about being signed to Bad Boy/Atlantic and how label head Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was once her biggest cheerleader, is now her ‘professional slapper’.

    He is the ambassador and protector of the jam. He makes sure that our ideas get out into the world. He is not involved creatively.

    He is the spokesperson for corporations when it?s time to talk business. When we don?t want to have conversations with suits, he goes in and slaps people for us. He is our highest professional slapper. He slaps anyone that tries to mess up the jam.

    Monae also talks about why she thinks some people just don’t ‘get’ her and how she feels a social responsibility to speak out through her music.

    First Lady Michelle Obama covers the April 2013 edition of Vogue.

    It’s the second time the first lady’s photo has graced the front of the fashion bible, the first was back in March, 2009.

    Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the newest cover of Obama, who wore a blue and purple Reed Krakoff sheath taken straight from her very own closet. The green background, the cool color palette and the choice to wear Reed Krakoff is also reminiscent of the ?FLOTUS’ brand new official portrait.

    President Barack Obama also appears in a photo alongside his first lady inside the Vogue feature spread and there’s also a third shot of Michelle wearing an elegant Michael Kors ball skirt and sweater.

    Cover Shots: Meagan Good is Hype Hair’s “Breakout Star of the Year”

    Jan, 3 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Actress Meagan Good rocks a short doo for the Jan/Feb 2012 cover of Hype Hair Magazine.

    Good is also featured in the mag as their ?Breakout Style Star of the Year? [insert side-eye here]

    Meagan Good has truly impressed us all with her continuous beautiful looks, which is why Hype Hair has given her the title of their ?Breakout Style Star of the Year.?

    Ms. Good sat down with the ladies of HH to chat about her new acting roles on Think Like A Man! and ?Californication,? her essential beauty and hair products and her secrets to maintaining her stunning ?dos.

    I don’t have anything against Meagan, but “Breakout” star? Ummm yeah. Their first choice must have been traveling for the holidays.

    On another note, you may recall that leaked “nude photo” of the actress circulating the net a few months back… well it has recently resurfaced again.

    I’m sorry to burst y’all’s naked Meagan bubbles, but I’d like to reiterate that the photo in question (which you can view HERE) is definitely a fake.

    In case you missed it:

    Did Lil Wayne Throw Shade at Jay-Z in VIBE Feature Article? [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 15 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Lil Wayne covers the October/November 2011 issue of VIBE magazine where he pays homage to the legendary rocker Jimi Hendrix.

    The 28 year old megastar captures Hendrix’s style game to the tee… from the badass black hat; a ?Purple Haze? era Technicolor military jacket; black leather pants; and Jimi?s signature orange, black and white Fender Stratocaster.

    ?Jimi?s just one of my favorite artists,? says Wayne, who a few years ago decided to pick up the guitar himself. ?Everything Jimi stood for, I believe in.?

    As you know, Jay-Z was recently crowned “KING” by GQ, but Weezy would be quick to beg to differ!

    More photos from Weezy’s Hendrix-inspired photo spread PLUS check out what he has to say about his “elderly” competition… Continue Reading…

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
